When indexing the distributor, you actually want the rotor to point just past the #1 terminal when the #1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. Indexing the Jeep 4.0 HO Distributor this is a good writeup for indexing the distributor. I know it seems simple but a lot of people mess this...

yep, basically you need to have the input of the t-case moving a little bit to line up the gears so you can shift. Also you could try greasing or spraying lubricant where the shifter pivots near the t-case.

Can't go wrong with the MC 2100, i ran one before I switched to EFI and it never gave me any problems. Then again, there are plenty of people who have had success with the weber as well.

The HEI is more common, it is a more simple system as you mentioned. Are you sure the TFI is only 30,000 volts? I could have sworn it was more than the HEI. Either way, I have used both and I didn't notice a difference between the two, I would just go with the HEI.

The pinions on my dana 44's, especially the front, seem very vulnerable to rocks and I have been thinking of ways to protect them. Rather than welding a flat piece of steel under the pinion and yoke that could bend and hit the driveshaft if the jeep came slaming down on it, I thought that...

I tapped it with a hammer a couple times and it looks as good as new, going to install the gears tomorrow and reuse the slinger.

I'm installing a new (posi) carrier and 4.56 gears in my front dana 44 out of a scout II. I already did the rear, and when I took apart the front I noticed a very large oil slinger between the pinion gear and inner pinion bearing. The rear dana 44 pinion did not have an oil slinger here. The...

I recently acquired a trac-loc limited slip carrier, and am trying to confirm what gear ratio it is for. I know that it came out of a 30-spline dana 44, the numbers on the case are 43081-B- 2 R3 10G0 Y Any ideas or ways to tell what gear ratio the carrier is for?

No, not really. You can install a snorkel, electric fan, and seal your ignition system, but there is always the possibility of water seeping in past the seals in the axles transmission and engine, and also damaging electronics.

I just installed my first carrier, ring and pinion recently and it took me a while to get it right but as a novice with differentials I was still able to figure it out. I ground out and used the original carrier bearings and inner pinion race to use for setting it up before pressing on the new...

Get a 'practice' smog test, any smog shop will do it--this way if it fails, they won't tell the dmv and you can fix it before going in for the actual test. ps to adjust the timing you can file out the holes on the CPS and move it around a tiny bit to fool the ecu, also you can adjust the a/f...

1) It depends what condition the axles are in, and what components they have. I bought a scout front and rear dana 44 set with all new brakes for $500, but they had the original carriers, gears, and bearings which I replaced ($1000 in parts right there) 2) The lug pattern is different, so you...

I believe the snout is 2" on the serpentine-style crankshafts

If you only have $1500 to work with, then your options are going to be limited. I would get an 8.8" rear end out of a Ford Explorer as already mentioned, some of them have 4.10 gears, and they are plenty strong (stronger than a Dana 44). As for the engine, isn't a 5.7L the same as a 350? Either...
